I think doomer posting is unhelpful at best and harmful at worst so I’m just not saying much of anything and screaming all of my worst thoughts into a paper bag.

I was driving around earlier and I spotted a new Blockbuster. I had to go in there. The building was filled with unmarked video tapes covered with bioluminescent mold. On the TV screens, there was a home video of me telling me to get out of the store. I really missed this place.

Hoping for more great horror in 2025. I want more LGBTQ+ horror, more horror from BIPOC writers, more horror mixed with whatever authors love. I want more smart, unique horror that doesn't care about being easy to digest. I want more horror full of positionality. I want it all.

my compulsion(s) toward horror and the avant-garde in art and communication all stem from the same source: a search for something that unsettles with the same frequency, a resonance, with my own anxious interiority, my own history of trauma, an overwhelming sense of attack, decay, sustain, release.

Steven King audiobooks should come with a “skip parts about female sexuality” button. In The Dead Zone there’s a woman who douches when she’s feeling too horny, and it’s like, Steve, you’re way out over your skis.

Privileged people generally experience the system as biased against and as singling them out for abuse, because they cannot imagine that’s just how the system treats people.
From what I understand from listening to @kenwhite.bsky.social Weinstein isn't getting any special treatment, and this is how it is for everyone at Rikers, but no, he thinks he's being picked on.
Lawyers say they suspect Harvey Weinstein has been deliberately mistreated in prison
According to Weinstein’s legal team, the disgraced movie producer has faced egregious conditions while jailed

Seems like people wanna talk about all the locked-up stuff at chain pharmacies and big box stores today. Here’s a gift link to a feature I published a few months ago about why retailers started putting so much stuff behind plexiglass and how badly it’s backfired. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America
CVS, Target and other chains have barricaded everything from toiletries to cleaning supplies. It’s backfired in almost every way.
